(a) Population data for 2008 are calculated on a different basis to years prior to 2008. See table 13A.2 for
notes regarding total population and Indigenous population data.
(b) 2006-07 data in this table include complete assessments only. For previous years the following
information applies: In May 2003 a new Minimum Data Set (MDSv2) was introduced for the Aged Care
Assessment Program. With the exception of Queensland and about half of NSW, it had been adopted
by states and territories when data shown in this table were collected. The data in this table have been
selected to match MDSv1 and MDSv2 coding and to be comparable as closely as possible with
previous reports containing MDSv1 data. Includes only assessments (completed and not completed)
for the stated client group. (Some assessments are not completed because, for example, the client’s
circumstances may change or the client may withdraw mid-way through the assessment process.
Separate counting of completed and not completed assessments has been introduced over time with
the adoption of the MDSv2.)
(c) The number of Indigenous assessments is based on self-identification of Indigenous status. Therefore
these figures may not accurately represent the assessment of Indigenous persons.
(d) The total number of assessments for Queensland in 2005-06 is underestimated by approximately 2000
due to technical failure.
